Seems the spammers are out in force today. I've reported at least 10...Just a heads up..If you do see spam please don't respond to it, just use the "report" button to bring it to the attention of the Moderators. I guess a lot of sporting events are imminent....That and BF.

They should remove all "empty" threads with zero replies after 24 hours.

The spammers have recently taken to marking their post's as resolved, after a few years acting as a Moderator on other forums, I've developed a kind of sixth sense.....Shoes, Evening wear, and the usual gamut of football and illegal streaming sites seem to be the order of the day....It's quiet now...Tends to happen between 5Am and now...Then they vanish....Many are Bot generated with random usernames so keeping ahead is tough. It's just a pet hate of mine...Like junk mail...I have a large sign on my mailbox about unsolicited mail....Doesn't work sadly....The mailman says he has to deliver it....

I could help on weekend to bring out the gabage. And Sunday morning EU or US is comfortable in my daytime in Asia. You guys wake up and have a nice, clean, tidy MR for breakfast.
Main function would be to quarantine threads in a way of hiding them, put them into a queue for the real mods to judge and take consequences. No execution power for the janitor ... Only wipe off the dust.
